Kim was preceded in death by his parents, daughter Kami Jo, brother Sequoyah Grass, sister Galedia (Grass), nephew Daryl Youngbear, and niece Mathesha (Grass).

His final wishes were to be cremated and buried behind his GRASS homestead in Bressie.

Kim was a character who had a mind of his own but he loved with all his MIGHT.
POPS will forever be our superman who will be deeply missed!!
